We love hearing from longtime customers, even when technology decides to untie the laces a little. I’m glad our customer service team was able to get you linked back up and ready to step back into your account without too much hassle.

Thanks for sticking with us over the years. We appreciate you more than you know.

I had an issue with the lair I received and I was thrilled there was a call in option, rather than just an email and chat. I’m old school and believe this level of customer service is far superior to the impersonal approach many companies have using emails. No long wait times and my issues were resolved in under 5 minutes! I greatly appreciative for that

Now that is the kind of customer service story we love to hear. We’re so glad our team was able to get your issue tied up nice and neatly in under 5 minutes, with no marathon hold music required.

We totally get the “old school” love for being able to actually call and talk to a real human. Sometimes you just need a quick conversation instead of a 47-email saga. We’re thrilled the team could deliver the kind of personal support that made you feel taken care of.

Thanks so much for the kind words and for giving us the chance to help.

Von - Customer Service

Von, who promptly and professionally responded to an email inquiry of mine. He went the extra mile to ensure I was put on a "notify list" re a pair of KURU shoes I wanted to purchase, but not in stock.

Now that’s some sole-level service. We love hearing that Von laced you up with quick support and went the extra mile to make sure you’d be first in line when your dream pair struts back into stock.

We’ll be sure to pass along the shoutout. Nothing makes our GURUs happier than helping customers stay one step ahead of the shoe game.

Thank you so much for the kind words. While we’re sorry there was an issue with the shipment, we’re really glad our team was able to provide the support and care you deserved throughout the process. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with the team, as they’ll truly appreciate hearing this.

appreciated fast delivery

appreciated fast delivery; looks like good construction shoe. Disappointed no wider widths - this is the narrowest medium shoe I have ever put on and I have worn narrow shoes all my life, but still your medium pinched my toes. Good looking shoe. Customer service person courteous and friendly in explaining return process.

Thanks so much for giving us a try and for the kind words about the delivery, construction, and customer service experience. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

I’m sorry this pair felt too narrow through the toes. We do offer wide widths in many of our styles, and some models are naturally more accommodating than others depending on foot shape and fit preferences.

Since your return is already in progress, we’d still love the chance to help you find a pair that feels much more comfortable if you decide to give KURU another try down the road. Our team can help point you toward roomier styles or wide options that may be a much better match for your feet.

A very pleasant experience

The representative was so kind and patient with me despite me being upset that I couldn’t get my QR Code. He resolved the issue calmly and I’m very happy, and he’s sending me a new pair of shoes to replace the ones that don’t fit.

Now that is a masterclass in turning frustration into a win.

Getting stuck on a QR code is never fun, but patience on both sides and a calm fix from the representative clearly turned things around. Smooth resolution, new pair on the way, and the original issue handled without the drama sticking around.

That is exactly how support should feel: steady, kind, and quietly heroic in the background while your feet get properly taken care of.

Great experience and timely support is exactly the standard we aim for.

Quick responses, clear communication, and no waiting around wondering what comes next. That is how customer service should feel. The recommendation means a lot, and we will be right here whenever you need us again.

Theses are the best shoes

Theses are the best shoes! I’ve been through Birkenstock, merrill1 and some others. I found KURU last year. Customer service is outstanding. I have 2 pairs and when I saw sandals I was really excited. Unfortunately, they did not fit properly. Return was so easy!

Now that is a seasoned KURU fan in the house.

Finding a brand that actually delivers on comfort and support is no small feat, so hearing we earned a spot in your rotation is a win. And while the sandals did not quite fit the way we would have liked, an easy return keeps things smooth and stress-free.

Two pairs in, great service to back it up, and a growing collection. That is how you build a shoe lineup that really goes the distance.

Loyal Customer

I have been wearing Kuru shoes for the past 6 years. I have dealt with Plantar Fasciitis and the relief was almost instantaneous. Why wear anything else?

Reply from KURU Footwear

Six years and still going strong? That is the kind of long-term relationship we are here for.

Plantar fasciitis can be a real pain in the heel, so hearing you felt relief that quickly is exactly what we aim for. Consistent support, happy feet, and no need to shop around wondering if something else might measure up.

At this point, it sounds like you and your Kurus are in it for the long haul, and honestly, we would not have it any other way.

Best customer service!

This company ships your shoes right away, a few times I’ve gotten the wrong size and just send them back and get a new pair in the right size within a week or less.
Lots of choices to choose from.
When I call they explain everything to me and tell me about my points, you get points on top of buying your shoes and you get money off of shoes.
This is a great company with good arch support and long wearing shoes.

Now that is a full-service glow-up. Fast shipping, easy swaps, and a rewards system that actually rewards you. We love a company that moves at your speed.

Getting the wrong size happens, but we like to think we’ve turned it into a quick outfit change rather than a hassle. And yes, those points add up nicely. A little bonus every time you treat your feet is kind of our thing.

We are always happy to walk you through the details, from sizing to rewards, so nothing feels confusing or missed. Supportive shoes that go the distance and a team that keeps you in the loop. That is how we like to do things.

This is wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing it.

Knowing that KURU has become your and your husband’s first choice, especially for all-day wear, means a lot to us. Comfort you can rely on from morning to night is exactly what we design for, so it is great to hear that is matching your real-life experience.

We are grateful to have you both as part of the KURU community.

We are so glad we could get back to you quickly, even after hours, and help get your size change and return started without delay.

Footwear decisions do not always happen on a 9 to 5 schedule, so we try to make sure support is there when you need it most. It is great to hear your questions were answered clearly and the process felt smooth and pleasant from start to finish.

If you need anything else as you move through your exchange or try your new size, we are always here and happy to help.

I asked the Kuru AI about inventory

I asked the Kuru AI about inventory. The answer was relevant but the alternative recommendation was for a slip on sneaker not a sandal.

Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate you sharing this.

We do have an automated response system that goes out for certain email and chat interactions, but I was not able to locate any interaction at all associated with your name in our system. Could you clarify whether you were using our website Shoe Finder, our AI tool when you received that recommendation?

While our Shoe Finder can be helpful for general guidance, it is still a tool and cannot fully replicate human insight when it comes to fit, feel, and specific product needs like sandals versus sneakers. That is exactly where our KURU GURUs come in.

Our human KURU GURUs would be very happy to personally help you find the right sandal options and make sure you get recommendations tailored specifically to what you are looking for. Please feel free to reach out to us at gurus@kurufootwear.com
, and we will be glad to help you further.
